Shin pads.
Shin pads are designed to protect your shins, and make sure you do not injure yourself! And me, being so chill about most things said, “Oh, it’s only practice – I wont get hurt!” And I was right, until the last 5 minutes of hockey practice, where one of my team mates swept the ball, and their follow through with the stick was the thing that got me. My shin was struck by a stick, going who knows how fast 
I was wearing tights, and didn’t lift them to check what actually happened after the collision. When I did check, I .. I don’t know. I was mad at myself for being a silly billy and not wear my shin pads! My shin was literally split. Split. Spliiit. And it was white on the inside. Is that flesh? Or fat?! Haha, I’m gonna say flesh … But … hey — doesn’t this totally remind you of my shinWIN post?! Haha! And, the split on my shin is literally 1 centimeter away from my surfing scar. Good times!
Do believe me when I say I learnt my lesson.
I wore shin pads yesterday.
